Can a Behringer FBQ-2496 be used for setting up a sub instead of the DEQ-2496. Sorry if this is a stupid noob question, totally new to calibrating and a little lost.

Yes, the FBQ or the "new BFD" can be used as a parametric EQ to add boost/cut filters for your sub. That's what I use in my system.
I think the DEQ is recommended if you can swing it because it gives you the EQ options but also gives the ability to use a LT circuit. It also does some RTA and a few other things.Danish -
What's a LT circuit? Looked it up in archives and got nothing. We're talking ground zero here. I am getting some books from PE so bear with me please till they come in. Will probably have more questions after that as well. Thanks Danish.

I think he means LP as in Low Pass.

Fred,
Might want to try using our search function, there are several threads discussing both these devices.
Also you're not going to using any of these devices to calibrate anything. Calibration is simply setting the relative output levels between channels. The Behringer devices are used for equalizing.
Here's a website designed for the EQing n00b....
BTW he does mean LT = Linkwitz transform circuit. It's a specialized EQ circuit designed for sealed box subs.

Yep, wish I had one...Originally posted by ThomasW
If I had to do it over, I would buy the DEQ. I was trying to save a few bucks at the time...DanishComment

I have an IB sub so I guess I don't need it if it is for seal subs. I just archived the LT circuit thing didn't think about searching for the units themselfs. Noobs. :roll: Thanks again guys.Comment

Technically an IB is a sealed box sub, but one doesn't need an LT circuit for a true IB subwoofer.
The decision should probably between the DSP1124P and the FBQ2486. And here's a thread where that discussion took place...

Yes, I use the new BFD, FBQ-2496 to EQ my dual subs.

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

That 2nd pic in your sig is great :rofl:
I need to take a 2nd shot at EQing my two. I just installed REQW on my new MacBook. I'm assuming that my USB sound card will work on it as well. Maybe I'll actually buy the MIDI cable rather than adjusting the filters by hand. That little wheel has to be getting tired.DanishComment

I just got a DCX2496. My subs aren't built yet and I've never used it. Apparently there are no feedback destroyer functions built into it (for some reason I thought there were). Would I benefit by adding an FBQ2496 or DSP1124 into the system? How about a DEQ2496?

Behringer is discontinuing the ($99) DSP1124P.
It's replacement is the ($150) FBQ2496
The newer unit has improved ergonomics and more filters, 20 per channel vs 12.
If you don't need the added filters and want to save $50 get your DSP1124P... -
just curious of anyone's experience with a B&K 200.5 (or similar model) amplifier on a 15 amp shared circuit. i have considered buying this model, but decided to call B&K just in case to ask some generic questions. i happened to ask about plugging it in and they strongly suggested a dedicated... -
I was looking at building a simple gain circuit for use in a biamped 3way to to match the woofer level with the mid/tweet due to baffle step. The rest of the XO would be passive. So a active/passive hybrid. This circuit would be placed between the preamp and the amp. So I check Linkwitz's site and found... -
I'm currently removing a living room wall to better accommodate my system. As long as I'm taking out a wall, I've decided to install a dedicated 20amp circuit. I've never been convinced of the need for a line conditioner, never heard a difference, but a dedicated circuit does make sense.
